it is not uncommon to see the gap is bigger on the front than the rear ... what really matter is the car is acturally level ... urs seems the front tilted up a little ... ensure its on a level flat ground b4 u measure ... if its stil uneven ... change the suspension ... i have biltein pss14 ... good stuff but very firm ... it make the car handle alot better compare with the stock (mine's elegance) ... or get one of those for antegrade or sport ... they are more comfortable than those aftermarket ones ... cheap option ... just go and get new springs ... will solve the hieght problem ...

make sure the lhs and rhs gaps are the same.

it does look a bit bigger than i'd expect...

here's a pic of my 07's gap (stock)

im thinking there's a ROW suspension that differs from US specs

Right on the fender. Maybe 1 finger. But the fact you're in Iceland, might make this not so good depending on roads and weather.

not to be mean but your suspension looks like those old town cars in flushing queenz where the *** is just hangin in the rear and the front looks lifted

but ya if yours is not a 4matic than its easy.

"DUMP" ?

The thing you've put your creative energy into, loved, cherished and coveted above all else?

C'mon....
give her some respect.

I guess that means you're getting a different car?
